my take on the highlighted markupped debug function:

<?php
/**
 * print_array()
 * Does a var_export of the array and returns it between <pre> tags
 * 
 * @param mixed $var any input you can think of
 * @return string HTML
 */
function print_array($var)
{
	$input =var_export($var,true);
	$input = preg_replace("! => \n\W+ array \(!Uims", " => Array ( ", $input);
	$input = preg_replace("!array \(\W+\),!Uims", "Array ( ),", $input);
	return("<pre>".str_replace('><?', '>', highlight_string('<'.'?'.$input, true))."</pre>");
}
?>
